Catrina Tomchuk and Matt Duda examine the phenomenon of
cultural discontinuity experienced by Aboriginal students in Manitoban schools
today in an independently produced radio documentary. They discuss what
cultural discontinuity is and what is being done in the province to deal with
this issue.
Featured on the show are interviews with University of
Manitoba Professors Dr. Frank Deer and
Dr. Yatta Kanu, Dionne Deer (Aboriginal Resource Coordinator for Louis Riel
School Division), Dennis Daniels (Executive Director, Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Education Centre),
Jim Sinclair (Indian and Métis Friendship Centre),
Shirley Delorme-Russell (Culture and Education Resource Coordinator, Louis Riel Institute), and
Michael “Redhead” Champagne (founder of Aboriginal
Youth Opportunities). They all lend their expertise to the analysis
of cultural discontinuity in Manitoban schools.
